This is wonderful! I am so excited! My girlfriend told me not to try it because pumpkin rolls are hard, make a mess, and won't turn out. Well, she needs to try this. It looks great, tastes great, and I will surley be making this again! My filling was not at all runny like some of the other comments. In my experience, using real butter when baking makes a big difference. Also, my cream cheese was very cold, straight fromt the fridge. The filling was thick, creamy, and ooooh soooo good.

Overall it had a good flavor. But I learned the hard way it is NOT a make-a-day-ahead dessert. Silly me. It cooked up fine, nice texture and height. Rolled up great. The spread was the right consistency. Then I put it in the fridge to hold for dinner the next day. Mistake! When I pulled it out the next day, the cake part was thin, dry and hard. I might try this one again on a night when we can enjoy it that same evening.

My whole family loved this!
I greased my pan with cooling spray, and the cake stuck a bit. So next time I'll know to grease the pan with shortening. I baked it for 15 minutes at 325--but I think 300 might have been better because it was still almost overdone on the edges. All in all, it was wonderful!

I made this for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it. It is not too heavy and just perfect for an after Thanksgiving meal when you are in the mood for something sweet. The cake part did crack in one area, I might suggest baking a few minutes under the baking time to make sure it is moist enough to roll.

This is festive for the holidays. The presentation and ease of making definitely deserves 5 stars. The taste is very good, but it didn't blow me away. I had never done any type of roll cake, and was pleasantly suprised that there were no problems rolling/unrolling the cake. I let the finished cake chill over night before tasting it. The cake was dense and had good pumpking flavor. I put a little pumpkin puree into the cream cheese filling. Most other roll cakes I've tried have a light, fluffy filling. The cream cheese filling was very good, but just a little too heavy for my taste. Next time, I will spread the cream cheese filling a little bit thinner.
